The problem is that I have no sufficient FS knowledge to argument why
it helps here. It was a desperate attempt to fix the problem for us
and it definitely worked well.

XFS does rather efficient btree directories, and it does sophisticated
readahead for directories.  I suspect that's what is helping you there.

Ok. Do you too think it might help (or even solve) the problem on
kernel.org ?
